11/17/2024 -Blue Chip Kids review

This will be comparatively shorter than my usual review, simply because this book is  an intro to economic terminology, and not really a story or media piece. Written by David Bianchi

Final score: 3/5

Blue chip kids is a book about economic terminology, it is far from in depth and really only talks about surface level economic policy, but its a great read if you're new to stocks (like me) or just want to know what people are saying when reading a news article about the economy. 

some sections are more useful than others, for me, the most important/valuable section was that on the stock market, I finally understand "option" trading is, what shorting a stock is, etc, which was actually useful as I do intend to enter the stock market at some point!

The illustrations are cute, though not super helpful, and offer something to look at which I like! they were done by the authors kid, or maybe his kid's friend? something like that. 

The language is shockingly easy to understand, this I will say, it doesnt matter how dense you are to this kind of thing (me in particular being a dumbass to money terms) it breaks it down in to hyper simple terms, perhaps too simple sometimes, but regardless very understandable.

Regardless of whether you intend to be involved with the economy or not, I'd recommend picking this or some similar book up just to learn and know whats up.

Next up is plato's The Republic
